Time for Two Ways !

There are as many types of speakers are there are human languages and dialects, but we have to agree one of the most popular formats is the two way system, with a tweeter and mid-woofer.

Sure, they are imperfect, often limited in bass or dynamic range, but they have major advantages as well:

  • Small Footprint
  • Small baffles
  • Single crossover point
  • Easier to integrate with a room’s acoustics

These are some general ideas. Of course, you don’t have to like 2-way speakers. You may prefer full-range single driver, ESL or 5-way beasts, but I hope we can please keep this thread 2-way friendly!

I’d love to hear from others about 2-way speakers you adore. Are you a 2-way only kind of audiophile?  How do you like yours? Horn loaded? Transmission line? Desktop?

I really like my Clearwave Duet 6 monitors. Great two way with lots of presence but now I'm keen to take a look at the Elac Adante AS-61 three way monitor. About the same size; concentric mid and tweeter with a dedicated bass driver that looks like a two way, and very close to the same size except the height (I can keep my custom maple stands that way). :-)

All the best,
Nonoise
